Sevrick Sep 14, 2024 @ 6:25pm 
Doesn't Work for me for some reason.
BarryBlack Oct 17, 2023 @ 5:56pm 
Kicks you if you do it too many times in a row.
Lalka Dec 6, 2022 @ 3:47pm 
@SCAP it works for me, so idk
sage40 Aug 4, 2022 @ 11:53pm 
yeah it ought to... is this mod obsolete now? would like to know if there's ways to add exercises to v41
jsly8672 Jun 12, 2022 @ 5:32am 
So why doesn't slaying zombies with melee weapons count as exercise anyway?

Frission Dec 21, 2021 @ 5:40am 
Exercise is built into the base game as of 41, yay :3
We will always remember the heroes that made the exercise mods for earlier builds <3

Does the mod work with B40 (MP)?

does this mod change the body model to look like it or is it just stat changes?
SpaceSoap Jan 6, 2021 @ 4:21am 
So i'm not the best at understanding the formula so how would one increase or decrease the amount of exercises needed to level up the skill?

@Palad1n
You don't need this mod anymore if you're playing on build 41 beta branch. But if you're playing b40 for multiplayer and want to adjust the value, search ExerciseV2 on your computer and edit the .lua file on notepad. You will find the formula and the values there, so just change them to your liking. If you need any help just let me know.
Palad1n Dec 31, 2020 @ 1:48am 
Have the values been lowered yet so you cant gain so fast or can someone point me in the direction on how to modify this mod? TY
Wiktor2807 Nov 8, 2020 @ 10:31am 
so what, this was added in game
?

Wonderful for Indie Stone to recognize a mod that is so great that it should be in the base game. Let the modders not be forgotten. F

I think maybe a way to remember the mod is by changing it to some kind of "relaxing" mod. You can get some sort of "stiffness" effect if your exercise is too irregular. So instead of it being an exercise mod perhaps make it into a mod where you stretch out your muscles or do something where you would spend time relaxing yourself.

Hosting a dedicated server with this mod, biggest issue I've seen so far is being able to drive and do jumping jacks and push ups. Gains seem rather fast, will work on adjusting that. Thanks for the mod.
AstrayCuriosity Sep 23, 2020 @ 1:03pm 
@ZonaryQuasar how? I can't see any description in this mod page to get it work in current save.
gwendoodle<3 Sep 16, 2020 @ 10:37am 
thanks mate.
ZonaryQuasar  [author] Sep 16, 2020 @ 8:11am 
@namg
It can be added to an existing save file.

@Space Pirate Kobold
Read the mod description.
gwendoodle<3 Sep 15, 2020 @ 4:38am 
does this require a new world or can it be added to an existing save file?
Doomer Man Aug 25, 2020 @ 9:53am 
The Mod does work on Build 41 BUT for some reason exercising increases calories on the character once complete. Not by a huge amount but around 300 to 400.
LionelCG Aug 17, 2020 @ 10:50am 
Yes it does. I am on the IWBUMS branch of PZ and it works with no issues.
TurtleShroom Aug 16, 2020 @ 6:39pm 
Does this Mod still work? I'm going through the list, and something is preventing me from washing my clothes.
BionicMeatloaf Jul 27, 2020 @ 9:28am 
Good mod, however extremely imbalanced.

You should put in a punishment mechanic to where if you exercise while exhausted you start to injure yourself that increases in severity the more you do it

Otherwise there is literally nothing stopping you from just doing pushups nonstop for a week straight, stopping only to stuff your face with cabbages
LionelCG May 24, 2020 @ 4:06pm 
Never mind, there was another cap from one of my traits which prevented any further XP gain when I tested.
LionelCG May 24, 2020 @ 3:51pm 
Is there a cap for exercising? I have a character with fitness on level 8 and no matter what I do, I won´t gain any fitness XP. I am on build 41.

My experience from testing so far: I needed to start a new savegame to get the option to exercise. It works well with passive skill fix.
LionelCG May 24, 2020 @ 3:03pm 
Great development on the original idea. Thank you for reviving this mod with fresh content <3

I will test it myself but has anyone any experience whether this mod is compatible with the passive skill fix mod? Both tinker around with the same stats so I am a bit worried :D

@UTKU

Despite you not knowing how to criticize something without being ignorant, if you want to change the XP, search ExerciseV2 on your computer and edit the .lua file on notepad. Search for the lines "local strengthXP = ((strength + ((realStrength*5)/5))* (60+(realStrength*4)));" and "local fitnessXP = ((fitness + ((realFitness*5)/5))* (60+(realFitness*4)));" and ajust the the formula to your liking

@The Ghost With The Most
Thanks!

@Mojo
I agree with you, the mod is simple and your ideas are great but making something more complex than this is beyond my skills, so if you or anyone wants to make a V3 I'll be very glad!
UTKU Mar 26, 2020 @ 7:16am 
too op.
you can just go to the wild with a trovel and live off of worms while working out withj this mod and max out ur fitnes and strenght in 22 days( at least it took me taht long) from zero.

you dont need to rest nor sleep, you just need to eat when ur health bar hits very low, developer may balance this shit out with correcting this bullshit. but for now its op as fuck. me dislike
The Ghost With The Most (Kira) Mar 21, 2020 @ 10:53pm 
This also works with IWBUMS Build 41. It does not have animations obviously, but it works well and manages your caloric intake with relative ease. You do get sleepy from doing work outs, which helps it function as a sleeping aid as well.

I like it a lot. Ten outta ten.
TRUMP GAZA IS #1 Mar 20, 2020 @ 5:35pm 
I like Mojo's ideas
Mojo Feb 12, 2020 @ 2:15pm 
i can help you for that if you want, i don't know a lot about modding but i'm programming so i'll learn fast
Mojo Feb 12, 2020 @ 2:11pm 
and yeah was thinking of a sore muscle status for push-ups that generate some pain when moving and discomfort, lower down the strength (so the efficiency of the training) and increase the endurance consumption, and a very sore muscle status appears that lower some hp, increase even more the penalties and make the training not available. We shouldn't be ab;e to train if we are very exhausted too. I think your mod will be perfect after that :)
Mojo Feb 12, 2020 @ 1:51pm 
[...] and should lose his fat then *MAYBE* muscle over time :)
Mojo Feb 12, 2020 @ 1:47pm 
I begin by saying that i am a big fan of this mod and so a big thank you for your work. It changes the game entirely, just by making the Very underweight + Weak gamestyle extremely challenging but actually playable. I love to spawn in the hospital with the Injured and Broken leg trait from another mod as well :D

BUT

If i like that we gain weight by doing exercice, so we lose some when we are starving. I'm thinking of computing the muscle mass and fat mass differently, simply by setting a default muscle mass and adjusting it from the beginning according of the underweight or very underweight trait. By doing that the weight ranges should be re-evaluated continuously during the game, because even if you don't have 1 kg of fat, a level 10 strength weighs at least 80 kg else he is underweight and should lose his fat then muscle over time :)

Is it possible to use this mod with an existing save? I've subscribed but its not showing up in my right click menu. Im sure if there is a way, i have to do something else. Just not sure what.
Age Jan 29, 2020 @ 9:36am 
To be honest, this mod needs a 'sore muscles' or ache/pain status after working out excessively. Perhaps to push ups at least if your character's not exactly in shape. Just my opinion though.
onestep87 Jan 24, 2020 @ 11:02am 
I had discovered that tireness accumulates more faster with this mod
Dusty Lens Jan 11, 2020 @ 8:18pm 
Three items that I thought were worth passing along.
1) I really appreciate a system that allows us to work at weight gain/loss. This mod is super grand for that.
2) At the moment you can work out while sitting down, which allows for some fairly absurd cheese of the fatigue system.
3) The gains to, at least, fitness are pretty intense. In the time it took me to go from "overweight" to normal weight, about 20 days in game with additional movement/gameplay I went from 6 to 9 fitness. I may have lost perspective as I don't think I've ever gained a single point of fitness in normal gameplay but that seems like a fairly intense gain. As I was looking into the weight loss system I didn't experiment with pushups and strength gain.

works great in Multiplayer
Mai que a Cama Nov 9, 2019 @ 11:10pm 
Do I have to restart the server for it to run? I've already installed the mods and eddited the server settings. I'm able to exercise in-game but my stats wont change
AvocadoGuy Nov 9, 2019 @ 11:54am 
Nice job, fellow brhue :D
ZonaryQuasar  [author] Nov 3, 2019 @ 9:58am 
@Before.
Yes, works on IWBUMS b41
